Just want to say thank you to the lady who stood at the end of Hindmans Rd this evening when I was frantically searching for my runaway 4 year old. In the heat of the moment (being said son's return after legging it completely around the block - including running up Barry Rd) I did not get a chance to thank you for looking out for him.


The police have now visited him and given him a good talking to. Fingers crossed he won't do it again to "look at the cars"!

I did exactly the same at that age and it was a sort of bravado of showing off to my mother how fast I could run,


and then she taught me what the back of her hand felt like.


She was distraught, and furious at the possibility of being seen as an unfit mother.


I never did it again as I was fiercely against capital punishment when administered upon me.

Probably a good thing I didn't give him a hiding. The police turned up 10 minutes later although they knew he had returned. Apparently it is standard practice to follow up on missing children calls. The police man gave him a brilliant talking to!

      Section 20

      By Dulwichlass · Posted

      The couple who I joint own the freehold tend to dictate on what work is needed. I usually just pay half but they usually decide the contractors to use.

      Has anyone had food poisoning from icecream at a local cafe? (name removed)

      I am sorry to  continue this, but I found your previous  comment about me very personal,  disturbing and upsetting, which was why I responded at length. I'm sorry it bored you. I try to stick to facts. I have investigated. You (and anyone else) can go into the "search" settings on here and  do a search on an author's name. So you can (I presume) find all my posts, including any which were  replying  to you. I can't imagine that they are in greater numbers than my replies to anyone else, but you can see for yourself. I guess you can probably also find examples of what you call my "usual sarcasm". I wasn't aware that l had a tendency to sarcasm, though I do find a lot of things funny.  There is no need to reply to this unless you actually find evidence in support of what you said. Sorry everybody else. I had to get it off my chest as I was lying awake last night worrying about it 😭

      Section 20

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      The Section 20 is just notification of intention to carry out works.  You have the right to object, propose an alternative or find different contractors. If you are joint freeholders why is your co freeholder acting unilaterally?  What is your usual mechanism for making decisions?
